A lot of folks here keep asking why Turkey is in NATO... I suggest for all of you asking this question... “Who let Turkey in to NATO and into Europe for that matter?” go and study some post WW2 history culminating with the “end” of the Cold War. It’s all there. Don’t be like my grandsons and expect someone like me to come along and have to tell you everything you’ll ever need to know... because that’s how DemoRATS and zombies come into being!
“Tell Turkey to get their troops on THEIR side of the border. Occupation is not a solution.” And yet, we’re removing our troops from Syria, where we’ve had them occupying space for how long now? Tell me again how many countries have U.S. troops deployed in them, how many “buffer zones” are manned by our forces, and what are the super-critical, tactical and strategic reasons for their being there? When it comes to “getting troops on their side of the border... we’re the biggest violators of all! The better question is this: “Who in the hell made us the world’s policeman?!?”
“Agree on Turkey and NATO. No way you form an alliance with a Muslim nation.” Again, see first paragraph. Without Turkey in NATO, we had no way to keep an eye on the Soviets via U2 overflights of Soviet territory, and more recently, there is no “guaranteed” control over the Dardanelles or Bosporus Straits. People, you need to get intellectually involved in your historical educations, participate in it, and quit being so emotional! Do the research... don’t believe every word you read or hear from the lying media!
Or try your best anyways to do the research.
